Looking Ahead:

"I envision our schools to be a place where every student feels welcome, truly known, and celebrated for who they are. I envision schools where every student will find themselves reflected in the staff and whose stories are told throughout the curriculum. It is in this culturally aware, diverse, and trauma informed environment that I believe all students can experiences joy and fulfillment in learning the knowledge and skill to thrive during and beyond their time in BLS. Also among my hopes is that we more tightly weave our schools into the fabric of our community where we all work together and are each accountable for every child in providing the very best opportunities and care for their growth." - Shimiko Montgomery
